Jeremiah 2:36

Jeremiah 2:36. Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.

First they trusted to Assyria to save them; and when that broken reed failed them, then they trusted to Egypt; and in a similar fashion, we go from one false hope to another, - from one carnal confidence to another, gadding about to change our way; yet, all the while, refusing to turn unto the Lord.
